New Product import fields are being added with each major Plugin update and regular minor Plugin updates add new import fields ready to be included in imports.

Why use Product Importer Deluxe?

Product Importer Deluxe can generate new Products and/or merge changes against existing Products with live and post-import reporting. Product details assigned to Products within the CSV file are all generated at import time making setting up your next store’s Products a simple one-step import process.

To make store migrations even easier we include free licenses of our popular export Plugin Store Exporter Deluxe so you can immediately export Products from existing WooCommerce store’s ensuring import compatibility.

We natively import Product details from many popular WordPress and WooCommerce Plugins including:

WooCommerce Subscriptions

This Plugin, alongside Store Exporter Deluxe, is the linch pin of our website stock management. Every single custom use-case scenario anyone could have, I have encountered and Michael and his team have been nothing but incredible with their support.

I've used this for years and as my review from a year ago said, I couldn't recommend it more vehemently.

Great work guys, on the Plugin and the support.

Michael is quick at responding even when it was user error. Thanks for your help and creating this easy to use Plugin. Don’t know how you do it, but it makes my life a lot easier.

Great Plugin that helps exporting and importing large amounts of Products - in particular Michael offers perfect support for implementing also new features to the Plugin, like in my case export and import of per-product add-ons of the WooCommerce Product Add-ons Plugin.
You can see the result in www.tranet.eu

Love this plugin, it's saved me massive amounts of time in analysing data and doing mass product updates. Michael is very attentive and quick to resolve any issues if there are any.

We use Product Importer Deluxe everyday and rely heavily on it working well every time for syncing data, stock, etc across our marketplaces. To date it's not let us down and Michael is super fast and helpful whenever we need help. This is a great tool standalone or better still with Store Exporter Deluxe. Buy it and be happy!

This Plugin makes the product import process clean & simple. I'm a novice however I had no problems uploading 8,000+ Products complete with images and custom meta data using the Plugin's simple interface. I can't speak highly enough of my experience using this product!

Support is insanely good and Michael solved a bizarre FTP issue quickly, efficiently and professionally.

I have to be honest - I use WPAllImport a lot and only came across Visser b/c WPAI doesn't support import via FTP. Now that I've seen what it can do and the quality of support, It's going right into my 'highly recommended' bin!

I love this Plugin! Easy to use and helpful documentation.

And also, good support and quick response. I had a problem with some parts of the process of importing, but after I asked Michael, he solved my problem right away.

Thanks!

We tried out several product import Plugins and WC Product Importer Deluxe is by far the best. Michael was/is extremely helpful in assisting us with minor problems in our data. He responds quickly and is very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this product.

Just wanted to say that I've tried one or two other import / export plugins for WC but Product Importer Deluxe is by far the best, particularly as it also comes with a license for Store Exporter Deluxe. I've found it very simple to use. It works with minimal configuration and it's saved me a huge amount of time. I must also add that Michael has been incredibly helpful too. Recommended.

Michael: Now that I have had the benefit of your great products and incredible support for 12 months, I want to tell you that I love your Plugins and your help has been tremendous. This is an absolutely essential Plugin for us.

Hello, iv been first using your plug in since it was first developed. I have 22 woocommerce stores with over 10,000 products a store. So i have a lot of importing to do. Once woocommerce came out with their own i started using theirs but its been no where as good as yours. With their plug in i can only import upto 50 products at a time and i keep getting duplicates that drive me annoying. I have to convert 1' 9MB excel file into 1,000 excel files. With your plug in i just keep importing the same excel file and it keeps importing without any doubles. Your picture placing is easier and i like your excel format. Its so much better than Woo's and i have so much to import. Thank you for your work and keep it coming :)

Holly molly!!! That is the best $95.00 I ever spend. I am still experimenting with 6 items at a time, the product importer worked great LOVE IT.

Hi Chris, WP FlexiShop is a WordPress theme and supports WP e-Commerce so you should be all set! To help with creating your CSV file I’ve generated a few sample templates, use Excel or your preferred spreadsheet creator and save the file as a CSV (Comma Separated).

Product Variation support would be super-duper!
If it could accept something like this from a CSV, it would be awesome.. obviously variations would need to be put into WP E-C first 🙂http://twitpic.com/64pkkh/full
Cheers!

That’s it…nothing else? Isn’t there more documentation on this somewhere? I don’t see any screenshots as to how this is supposed to work and would like to further understand how I can set up/import 200+ categories from scratch using this tool. Seems odd.

Also, the link you have under:
“Demo”
A demonstration of Product Importer Deluxe for WP e-Commerce has been created for interested customers to sample the solution before purchasing it.
‘Visit the demonstration site of Product Import Deluxe for WP e-Commerce’
…does not work.

Lastly, I tried going to:
“Visit the support forum of Product Importer Deluxe for WP e-Commerce”
….but your forum doesn’t seem to exist and simply links to getshopped.org. I thought it was THE support forum OF Product Importer Deluxe…

I’m interested in purchasing this plugin but need some clarification and help.

You can find information about Product Categories Importer under WP e-Commerce > Docs. > Plugins > Product Categories Importer. Since this Plugin has now been merged into Product Importer Deluxe I’ll be taking this section down and pumping up the Product Importer Deluxe details. It’s all explained in the Plugin readme.txt which is hosted here on the site too; it could be better laid out which I’ll be doing next week.

The demonstration site is down so I’ll remove the text above. There is a dedicated forum here on Visser Labs, http://www.visser.com.au/wp-ecommerce/forums/; I’m very sorry it looks like Redirection crapped itself, the forums will be up in 10 minutes.

Hi Adam, the majority of pre-import actions are independent of WP e-Commerce so I suspect a permission change or change in directory, it’s only when you’re loading the Products into the database that WP e-Commerce is really used.

Can you send me your FTP and WP Admin details and I’ll look at this now. Thanks Adam. 🙂

I am working on a new store and I just downloaded the latest versions of WP, WP e-commerce, your importer plugin (vl_wpsc_productimporterdeluxe-pack-2.8.4.7). It installed successfully, but when I attempt to activate it, I am taken to a page that says only:

After installing the latest version of the Product Importer plug-in (categories importer 1.5.7.2 and product importer 2.8.4.7), neither are visible under Tools with the latest Word Press 3.2.1 release. (Using WP e-Commerce 3.8.5)
With WP e-commerce 3.7, the plug-ins were listed under Store. With WP e-commerce 3.8, the plug-ins are (were) listed under tools. Has anyone else had a problem viewing the plug-ins with the latest WordPress release?

Great. Thanks, Michael. [Noticed the list of items under import; but didn’t recognize your plug-in because of the difference in the name and thought it was just part of WordPress.] FYI. For anyone else looking for the tool, the name of the plug-ins are now displayed as Product Categories and Products under the list of Tools > Import.

Hi David, unfortunately Product Importer Deluxe is a CSV-only importer. I recommend either hiring a developer to convert it to a CSV else look at other XML-supported Product importers for WP e-Commerce.

Looks like Michael has gone AWOL, he’s not answering email inquiries, I even threw another $20 into his donation pot in the hopes he might point me in the right direction on how these products work. Time wasted.

Hi Lee, I’m here! I’ve just got back from overseas so am putting my development gear back together and turning attention to support on the forums, here on Plugin detail pages as well as e-mail and Skype calls,.

I’m very sorry that I’ve not yet responded to your enquiry sooner, I’ll do my very best to respond to your questions in detail this morning. 🙂

When the last version of the CKEditor was automatically installed, it still allows a CVS to be loaded. However, after clicking the “Upload file and Import button”. The next screen that appears and which contains several drop-downs does not work.

To fix the problem. The newest version of the CKEditor plug-in was uninstalled and an older version was installed. The error has been reported to the developer.

Also, just wondering if you have an answer to June 28th question. (It was about the ability to link a different downloadable file to each variation with a product. The ability to link download files is why I purchase this product over other importers. Most of my products contain variations.)

FAQ

Supported Product fields

Please see the Trello boards listed on the Roadmap tab of this page.

Am I entitled to future Plugin updates?

You sure are, you can always download the latest release of your purchased Plugin from My Account.

What are the required product fields within the CSV to be imported?

The minimum data requirements for importing new products are:

Product Name

The minimum data requirements for merging Product changes are:

SKU

We recommend providing as a minimum for an operating store the following Product fields:

SKU

Product Name

Category

Price

Quantity (for stock limited products)

What import methods are available?

Import new Products only

Import new Products and merge Product changes

Merge Product changes only

Do you have a sample master products CSV file for Product Importer Deluxe?

Can I link a Product to multiple Categories/Tags/Images, etc?

Sure can, just put a '|' (vertical pipe) character between each item, currently all of the above are supported. In a near future Plugin update multiple file downloads will also be included.

Can I declare sub-categories and establish parent-child relationships with the included Product Category Importer for WP e-Commerce?

Roger that, when declaring a child Category ensure you use place an '>' (arrow) character between the parent and child. With the release of 2.6.5 you can drill down up to 3 levels deep, for instance:

Clothes>Men>Casual within the Category column of your CSV file will link a Product to Clothes, Men (as a sub-Category of Clothes) and Casual (as before).

Support

Product Importer Deluxe comes with a Quick Start document (readme.txt) to help with installing the Plugin, a detailed Usage document is also maintained online. Additional support can be found from the Contact page or methods below.

This Plugin bulk imports hundreds, even thousands of linked Products and Product images into WooCommerce.
